Multitasking & Survey HW

We watched a video about Multitasking.  You started by titling a page in your notebook, "Multitasking is..." and then we started the video (embedded below).  We also gave you some HW, the 2016 Presidential Candidate Viewpoint Survey Matching handout, which has 80 Yes/No questions.  Simply answer the questions you understand by Friday and come prepared to ask about those you do not.

For tomorrow's tutorials, we are simply asking you to come with any math or other Level 1 questions for which you need help in a roundtable style.

Also, let's have NO MISSING ASSIGNMENTS in ANY 4-CORE CLASS by NEXT FRIDAY.  This gives you 10 days to clear up any past missing assignments.  We'll figure out what kind of reward awaits the class(es) that meet this simple expectation.

Purple Card & Reflection 3.3

We are back to regular Tutorials with TRFs next week - presented on Tuesday & Thursday!  Remember that you only get half-credit if turned in AFTER Tuesday.

Monday 2-8-16 = Course Registration Research (iPads)
Wednesday 2-10-16 = Academic Self-Analysis/Report (on your own)

Complete your Purple Card Data Entry
For each of your 4-Core Classes, Complete ALL 3:

  1. Grade - Remember to use the right color!
  2. Missing Work/ZERO - include stuff you turned in! It WILL change, right? We're doing this to track progress and (hopefully) improvement
  3. Success/Oops (1 each on BOTH sides = 4 TOTAL)

Reflection 3.3 (NAME & DATE!)
On a separate sheet of LINED paper, reflect on the week's activities.  If you are stuck, address the following questions:
Which story from the documentary struck you the hardest?  As always, explain why!
Did this week's topic change your beliefs or actions?  Again, as always, explain why/why not!
How do you think we, as a society, could cut back on distracted driving (especially texting)?
Do you have any thoughts about this week's topic that you'd like to add/share with us?
